    Just bought a 2013 Tacoma DCLSB Sport 4x4 (91,000 miles). Got it for a nice price knowing it needed a few things.

    It has spacers at the front and nothing in the back as far as additional suspension that I can tell. I'm preparing to order a 5100 kit or OME kit and trying to decide if I need a new Dakar leaf set or not. I will say that the truck feels like it rides really rough.... I'm thinking this could have something to do with it.....
    (the truck sits nearly perfectly level hub to fender with a custom bumper on the front)

    They are pretty much straight with possibly a "W" shape to them......


    Are they legitimately worn out? If they are, I don't have a problem replacing them. If they aren't then I'd rather save the cash. I'm not doing serious offroading so the Dakars aren't going to do me much good....

    Thanks everyone!

    I'd replace them....They look to be sagging already. Also, they kind look like the recall springs Toyota has issued to fix the cracked leaf spring problem.
